Question of the Day - March 29 2008

10 minutes into the day and we have a wiener.

Patron: Where can I find stuff on this? (hands me a battered copy of Sci. Am. with a cover article on nanotechnology)
Me: Nanotechnology, 4th floor Science and Tech.
Patron: (looks around and leans in) When I was at Vancouver General last year, they injected me with nanytes.
Me: Better get that looked at then.

Question of the Day

Patron: I want to find someone to eBay some stuff for me.
Me: Uh, are you wondering how to use eBay to sell items? (we have an Intro to eBay class)
Patron: No. I don't know computers. I just want someone to sell my stuff on eBay and to split the profits with me. I heard that I can make a lot of money with eBay.

Sadly we don't have a bulletin board where people offer services such as this. All I could think was "I bet somewhere on Craigslist is an ad for someone who will sell your crap on eBay for you"
